, ATT-ORNEY Patented May 17, 1932 UNITED STATES PATENT HARRY KORN, OF BROOKLYN, NEW YORK, ASSIGNOR T ARTCRAFT IRON OFFICE A CORPORATION OF NEW YORK BEVERAGE SET Application filed July 25,

The present invention relates ,to beverage sets and is more particularly directed toward and water pitcher and provided with suitable legs to support it above the floor or table and with suitable handle for carrying it. The beverage set may also be provided with a receptacle to receive an ice tub so that a supply or ice may be convenient for use.

The present form of beverage stand is de signed to employ the usual flat square tile as a table top to support the pitcher. This tile is carried in a suitable frame and the tumbler supporting devices are secured to the frame so as tocarry the tumblers in a convenient accessible position. 1

The accompanying drawings show for purposes of ,illustrating the present invent1on. two of the many forms in which it may be embodied, it being understood that the forms shown are illustrative of the invention rather than limiting the same. In these drawi ngs Fig. 1 is a perspective view of one form of beverage stand;

Fig. 2 is a fragmentary top plan View of the upper part of the stand;

F ig. 3 is 2; and

Fig. 4 is a perspective view of a modified form of construction.

In the drawings the tile is indicated at 10. This tile is preferably the eight inch square tile commonly employed as ornamental wall tile or for use in tiletop tables. It is received within a frame 11 consisting of a piece of angle iron bent to asquare shape and welded together at some point, such as indicated at 12. Various forms of tumbler supporting means may be provided but the simplest form consists of a bent strap 13 whose ends 14, 14 are welded or otherwise secured to the corners of the frame 1:). This strap is formed into a number of loops 15 and is preferably welded or otherwise secured to the frame member 11 as indicated at 16. Where the usual eight inch square tile a section on the line 33 of Fig.

is employed, it is possible to place three such tumbler supporting loops along two opposite sides of the tile as indicated in Figs. 1 and 4, so that the beverage set will accommodate six tumblers which hang down as indicated in Fig. 1. Larger or smaller tile or different shaped tile will admit of supporting more or less tumblers. \Vhen the beverage set is to be supported from the floor, the stand is made up in the form of long legs 17 bent to some suitable ornamental shape and preferably welded on their upper ends 18 to the frame. These legs converge inwardly and, as shown in Fig. 1, may be secured to ring 19 of suchsize as to conveniently support an ice tub 20.

A convenient form of handle may be made by bending a strip of metal-to an inverted U-shape, as indicated in Fig. 1. Here the handle 21 is provided with lower bent ends 22 passing underneath the frame 11 and welded to it. The handle 21 may, if desired, be provided with a ring adapted to encirclc the water pitcher as shown.

The form shown in Fig. 4 is indicated for table use, and here the legs are shorter being merely sufliciently long to hold the tumblers off the support on which the legs 30 rest. Instead of providing a handle such as shown in Fig. 1, the handle here takes the form of two bent straps 32 welded to the opposite sides of the frame member 10.

It is obvious that the invention may beembodied in many forms and constructions, and I wish it to be understood that the particular forms shown are but two of the many' forms. Various modifications and changes being possible, I do not otherwise limit myself in any way with respect thereto.

What is claimed is: v

1. A beverage stand having a square table top composed of a frame and an enclosed tile, supporting legs for the frame, a plurality of tumbler supporting rings secured to two opposite edges of the frame, and a handle secured to the other edges of the frame, the handle being in the form of an inverted U- shaped loop adapted to accommodate a water pitcher and carrying a horizontal ring to encircle such pitcher.

2. A beverage stand comprising a square frame made of angle iron, a square tile secured in the frame, a plurality of legs extend ing downwardly from the frame, and a plu- 5 rality of tumbler supporting rings along the edges of the frame. the rings being formed by loops of a metal strap welded to the frame. 3. A beverage stand comprising a square frame made of angle iron, a square tile secured in the frame, a plurality of legs extending downwardly from the frame, a plurality of tumbler supporting rings along the edges of the frame, the rings being formed by loops of a metal strap welded to the frame, and an inverted U-shaped handle above the table, the ends of the handle being welded to the frame. 4. A beverage stand comprising asquare frame made of angle iron, a square tile secured in the frame, a plurality of legs extending downwardly from the frame the legs converging toward one another, a ring to which the legs are'sccured, and a plurality of tumbler supporting rings along the edges of the frame, the rings being formed by loops of a metal strap welded to the frame.

5. A beverage stand comprising a rectangular frame formed of angle iron bent to shape and having its ends welded togethen a tile secured in the frame, a plurality of tumbler supporting rings formed by straps whose ends are welded to the corners of the frame, and a plurality of downwardly extending legs welded to the frame.
